Duoduo nodded as she elaborated. “Haven’t you heard? Ordinary scandals wouldn’t matter, but this time, the charity officials have been alerted. Things are completely different.
A company like Summit Entertainment places great emphasis on reputation and image. In order to stay away from this situation, they would certainly take precautions…”
Lin Yan stroked her chin and mused, “You’re right… But there is no way the company would terminate my contract.”
Duoduo was startled by her confidence. “How can you be so certain that the company wouldn’t do that?”
Duoduo couldn’t understand why she was so confident.
Lin Yan appraised Duoduo and replied pompously, “Because I have an extremely powerful backer. No one would dare to terminate my contract.”
Duoduo was speechless…
She fell silent for at least ten seconds and narrowed her eyes suspiciously at Lin Yan before she sighed in exasperation. “Sister Yan, you’re blabbering again. You’re such a straightforward, manly woman. There is no way you would be able to land such a backer in this lifetime!
Besides, Summit Entertainment is famous for having strict rules. A manager once broke a rule and had a relative working for the top management. In the end, an order came and he was fired.
So tell me. Who is this backer of yours?”
Others may have speculated about Lin Yan, but Duoduo was always around her. Thus, she was aware that there was no such backer.
Lin Yan felt humiliated as she retorted, “Why can’t I have a backer? My backer’s influence and power aren’t even in the same league as that manager’s power!”
“I would be an idiot if I believed your words…”
However, Lin Yan’s confidence and tone had swayed Duoduo slightly. Something hit her and she clasped her mouth in horror before she shrieked.
“Don’t tell me… You and the award-winning actor? Mr. Pei?”
Lin Yan was speechless!
“Ahem!” Duoduo’s shrieks had scared Lin Yan. “Nonsense!”
“Didn’t you claim that you have a powerful backer?” Duoduo mumbled. “The only person I can think of is Mr. Pei…”
Lin Yan pouted and shot her a disdainful look. “Young lass, can you try having a more vivid imagination? Be more daring with your guesses.”
The corners of Duoduo’s mouth twitched. “Isn’t that daring enough?”
Lin Yan was speechless…
It wasn’t enough…
Far from it.
…
Soon, the day of the charity event came.
The charity event would be held at an exhibition hall in the capital city. Guests from the political, business, and entertainment industry had been invited.
There was also an additional number of media outlets covering the event on online platforms live.
The online donations would be contributed to charity.
Artists usually wouldn’t wear the same outfit twice.
However, Lin Yan’s sponsors had all left her, and she hadn’t managed to borrow anything. In the end, she had to wear the same dress she had worn to an event earlier last month.
“You have worn this before… If you wear it again, you’re bound to be mocked…” Duoduo sighed sadly.
Lin Yan replied sharply, “This is a charity event, not a beauty pageant. Why should I spend so much time dressing up? Shouldn’t I donate the money to those who need it?”
Her remarks left Duoduo slightly surprised. Lin Yan sounded so wise…
“I bet you can’t bear to spend money on new clothes…” Duoduo muttered.
Lin Yan chuckled in amusement. “Wow. You’re right!”
Duoduo was speechless…
